Does Israel has the intent of genocide? I don't think so.

Does Hamas try to maximize civilian casualties with martyrdom? By meshing its combattants with civilians? Yes.

The Geneva convention, unfortunately, allows collateral to a certain extent.

Hamas also executed gazans several times.

Israel does have a very aggressive strategy, but labeling it a genocide doesn't help the Palestinian cause.

Words matter.

Just curious: is there a (hypothetical) red line that Israel would have to cross for you to be convinced? If not, you're biased.

Intent is hard to prove if it is not published.

Your advice to change how people talk about the dead children does indeed seem motivated, but not to "help the Palestinian cause".
